NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.
Mesquite, TX
According to the pilot, after touchdown on the runway the airplane veered to the left, exited the runway, and impacted a precision approach path indicator light. The right wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage. After the accident, a runway inspection revealed a continuous black tire mark from near the runway centerline, consistent with the position of the left main gear when landing. The tire mark terminated at the runway edge, where a tire impression began and continued to the wreckage location. A postaccident examination of the left wheel brake revealed corroded caliper pins, which prevented the brake caliper from free floating as designed. This corrosion likely prevented the tire from rotating and resulted in the uncorrectable veer off the runway.
The pilot’s inability to maintain directional control during the landing roll due to corroded brake caliper pins.
On June 21, 2023, about 1447 central daylight time, a Cessna 175, N9354B, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Mesquite, Texas. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to the pilot, after touchdown on the runway the airplane veered to the left, exited the runway, and impacted a precision approach path indicator light. The right wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage. After the accident, a runway inspection revealed a continuous black tire mark from near the runway centerline, consistent with the position of the left main gear when landing. The tire mark terminated at the runway edge, where a tire impression began and continued to the wreckage location. During a postaccident examination, the left wheel brake caliper was wedged and unable to free float with corrosion present on the caliper pins. The pilot stated that following the last annual inspection, he took the airplane to Alaska to conduct back-country flying. This was the only time the airplane was stored outside. Normally, the airplane remained in a hangar in Texas and out of the elements.
